Perth Glory coach Tony Popovic is set to roll out some big guns for tomorrow’s A-League clash with Melbourne City at AAMI Park.

Popovic rotated his squad for the past two games against Sydney FC and Western Sydney, making six and five changes respectively in a busy schedule.

He faces another difficult period with three games in nine days, starting in Melbourne followed by two home games against Adelaide United and Newcastle Jets.

But captain Diego Castro and dynamic wing-back Jason Davidson, both of whom came off the bench to spark the 4-3 win over Wanderers, and midfield general Neil Kilkenny, who did not play in that game, are set to feature.

Two other unused players, Matt Spiranovic and Brendon Santalab, could also make appearances in a game earmarked as a must-win by the table-topping coach.

When asked if he was tempted to rest any of his big names, Popovic said: “No, no. I think this game, we’ve got enough time ... we’ll pick the team we want to play this game.

“We’ll put out a team that we believe will win ... It won’t involve resting anyone.”

He said Castro, who is coming back from two hamstring injuries, had made “an amazing contribution” in the past three games.

“Two off the bench and one when he was outstanding against Sydney as a starter. He’s a fantastic player, so that’s an easy one,” he said.

“We’ve come through very well in terms of the results in the last seven days, a difficult period.

“It’s only a six-day turnaround but at this stage that feels like a lifetime. We were very consistent in terms of the line-up until a week ago.”

Glory are preparing for a City backlash after the fourth-placed side’s shock 2-1 loss to Central Coast Mariners on Wednesday night. Glory will equal their club-record five-game A-League winning streak if they take all three points.

“You always get a reaction from good teams,” Popovic said. “Regardless of that result we know what to expect. They are very strong at home.”

Glory have scored 15 goals in the past four games, even without star striker Chris Ikonomidis who is with the Socceroos.

“Our recent record in terms of goals scored has been very consistent,” Popovic said.
